Feeling Unmotivated…

So, you may have seen on social media recently (by “recently” I mean last month) that I came down with a horrible stomach bug. I vomited for six hours straight and don’t remember most of it because I was so dehydrated. I spent a week trying to get my body back on track but even now, four weeks on, I still crave water with electrolytes.

After I got better, I was continuously bombarded with bacteria. My students were constantly sick and I just couldn’t kick the cycle. Thankfully, though, I never got the flu!

Eventually, I resorted to wearing a mask everywhere and got better. But, now, I’ve lost all motivation to do anything related to my Instagram, Twitter, blog and YouTube. I have all these ideas floating around in my head but I cannot bring myself to do any of them.

I wasn’t particularly productive on many of my platforms (Twitter and YouTube especially) but over the few weeks I was sick I completely lost it!

Do you deal with this? How do you get out of the slump??

I can’t even bring myself to read other people’s posts or scroll through Instagram anymore. I want to. I just can’t!

Is it because I just don’t have the drive anymore? The productive muscle has gone soft? Or am I afraid of seeing the massive amount of unread or unseen posts piling up higher and higher every day? Am I just still not feeling well — I am so tired all the time (more so than usual). Maybe it’s a little bit of everything.

I really hope to be back at it soon! Please let me know if you have any tips because I just can’t get myself out of this slump!

Sounds like a little bit of everything. My RA has been kicking my butt these last few days and the weekends are usually just well made plans that wind up resting with me on the couch. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Maybe spend a few minutes each day devoted to mind, body, and spirit “first aid”. I think maybe take care of each of these a little bit each day and things will start to fall back into place. You can’t climb a mountain all at once. Take a few steps in the right direction each day!
